About Goldsaucer

Goldsaucer Ltd. was founded by the brothers
Markus and
Mathias Kahl in Januar 2017 to start work on side projects.
Professionally we both work as software developers,
mostly on web-based enterprise application software. You can find a few of our personal projects on
our website.

We're both avid gamers as we owned nearly every console starting at
NES and have always enjoyed playing singleplayer games such as
Final Fantasy,
Gran Turismo,
Spyro the Dragon and
many more, as well as multiplayer games such as
Buzz!: Quiz World and
Rockband. As we're getting older and distances to friends grow we increasingly play online on PC rather
than console. Playing together with friends locally happens less frequently but we use every change we get!

Meet Us!

Markus usually hangs around in Durham (UK), while Mathias lives in Berlin (Germany). You can occasionally find
us at local game events, such as
Talk & Play or the
Unity 3D meetup in Berlin.

About Askutron

At the beginning of 2017 when we were looking to create a new game together we noticed the lack of PC games like
Buzz!: Quiz World that we could play locally or online, especially in our native language (German)! Sure,
there were
You Don't Know Jack and the
Jackbox Party Games, which are awesome, but many of our German friends don't like playing in English
- having to translate everything on-the-fly can be a bit bothersome.

And thus began development of our own small quiz game called
Askutron Quiz mostly because we wanted to have a trivia game to play with our friends on PC in English
*and* German.

The Voice of Askutron

Since we're not a big company with lots of money to spend on development it immediately became clear that it
would not be feasible for us to have someone record all the questions, especially for both languages. Thanks
to the advent of artificial personal assistants like
Siri,
Alexa,
Cortana and so on we realized that synthetic speech could be a cheaper and very powerful alternative.
Luckily we discovered
Amazon Polly which we now use
to generate the
audio for all our questions as needed.
